Absolut Red by Sam Regan
ATTN! HISTORY IS IN THE MAKING! For the first time
EVER, we here at Ho Ho Inc. have received an international submission to the
annual "209 and Friends Xmas Cassette Compilation." Luca Lovisetto,
singer and guit. player of the top-notch Italian scorchers Absolut Red, whipped
up this christmas classic "Xmas 97," abandoning Red's usual high
energy No-Wave sound on this haunting, nostalgia-ridden bedroom composition.
Check out Absolut Red's debut album, "A Supposedly Fun Thing We'll
Probably Do Again," as well as the remix EP, both of which are available
for free download at the bandcamp link here below:Lovisetto and Co are prominent members of the local scene in Bologna, Italy, and have a bright future ahead of them. I have recently befriended Lovisetto and Red's guitarist Simone D'Avenia, both of whom have since been named Honorary Stocktonians. Welcome to the fam, bois! Sources suggest that there is a split 7" in the works, feat. Absolut Red and other bologna hero's "Altre Di B," possibly to be released by the world renowned Bolognese venue The Covo Club as part of their ongoing series of 7"s. Keep your ears peeled and your google translate tabs open to find out more in the coming months.

Thank you, Overseas Correspondent Sam. Lovisetto's XMAS97 is a tearful tribute to holidays past. A sweet, yet painful sentiment that plays out beautifully atop Luca's heartfelt acoustic composition. Feast your ears on this undeniable Xmas Classic come December 15th 2013 via The 209 & Friends Xmas Compilation Tape Official Bandcamp Website, which will be revealed to you as a gift on the aforementioned date.
